- U.S. regulators, including the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, closed probes without action after finding no evidentiary support for the report’s claims.
- Evolution says it will amend its defamation complaint to add Playtech as a defendant, with the case expected to continue into 2026.
- Playtech’s stock closed down 21% at 270p on Tuesday following the latest disclosures.
